[Lea smiles, though again there was more bitterness than amusement in it. Oh if only you knew, Eight...]
It's not modesty; it's just the truth. All of us, from Creepers on up, were Nobodies. With a capital 'N'. It's the name for the kind of being we were. Or well, sort of being anyway; it's complicated.
And it's nice that you're concerned, but I made a pretty decisive break with that group awhile before I came here. So on the off chance that any lesser Nobodies turned up here, they'd most likely try to kill me rather than being interested in anything I had to say. The Organization... isn't really the kind of group that accepts resignations, if you know what I mean.
[Are you getting the impression that maybe the group he used to be part of aren't nice people yet, Eight?]
But I'm glad you got to do something that was important to you like that.
